The Germ Movie Students at the Kentucky School for the Deaf worked together on a project to stop the spread of germs in their school. The studied how germs were spread and what they could do to reduce the spread. They also made this movie to help other students understand how easy it is to spread germs if you are not careful. This is a good teaching resource for a lesson/unit on germs and healthy habits for the elementary classroom and would work well used as a springboard for a discussion on germs.

Silal This sample shows the typical structure of silal, irons with high Si content (5.5-7.9 wt%). It is a grey cast iron alloyed with 4-6wt% Si to provide good oxidation resistance. The high Si content forms a dense, adherent iron silicate surface film, which is resistant to oxygen penetration. The flake graphite iron Silal was one of the first heat resisting cast irons developed. Spheroidal graphite Si irons have higher strength and improved ductility.

It started as an experimental tool to assess the impact of VR technology in design, using the environment of the associated Calibre Institute. The technology was further developed in Calibre to become an important presentation tool for assessing design variants and final design solutions. However, it was only sporadically used in student projects. A major shift occurred in 1997 with a numbeAuthor(s): Achten, H., Roelen, W., Boekholt, J.-Th., Turksma,
